Sanla River.
Han Yuan, deputy commander-in-chief of the Eastern Sichuan Army, had already arrived at Sanlahe with a division of troops.
"Master, after crossing the Sanla River is the Humeng County area. One of our brigade was ambushed here a while ago." Han Yuan's adjutant said next to him.
"Um"
Han Yuan nodded and looked across the Sanla River.
"They will not ambush in the same place. Listen to my order and the entire army will cross the bridge immediately!"
"Master is wise!" the adjutant replied with a smile and went to deliver the order.
"The deputy commander-in-chief ordered the entire army to cross the bridge immediately and march towards Humeng County!"
"The deputy commander-in-chief ordered the entire army to cross the bridge immediately and march towards Humeng County!"
…
At this time, on the Sanlahe position.
Sun Dayu could clearly see every move of the Sichuan Eastern Army through the telescope. Although he could not hear the sound, he could roughly guess what they were going to do.
"Ready to fight!"
"Yes, battalion commander."
…
"Click... click"
"Click... click..."
"Load!"
"Target, four hundred and fifty meters ahead!"
At this time, all the rifles and machine guns of the entire battalion were loaded, and their muzzles were pointed at the enemy troops still far away under the hill.
The mortars behind them were also aimed at the sky diagonally above.
At this time, the Sichuan Eastern Army formed four rows and began to cross the bridge.
"Quick...quick!"
"Hurry up, Humeng County is just ahead."
The officers urged the troops to advance.
At this moment, a small black dot suddenly appeared in the sky.
"what is that?"
In an instant, a shell fell into the crowd of troops and exploded.
"Boom..."
"Dong dong dong..."
"hidden!"
"There's an ambush, stay hidden!"
…
"Run quickly~"
"Mom...I want to find mom...wuwuwu..."
"Don't run, rush over...!"
"There are tens of thousands of us, don't be afraid of his...boom~"
"Ah...the leader is dead...run now~"
Originally, the Sichuan Eastern Army was a temporary army formed by the common people. Its combat effectiveness was very weak and its discipline was basically non-existent.
After being blasted by artillery shells, the formation broke up.
"What's going on in front? Why is there the sound of artillery? Who asked them to fire? Don't you know that the ammunition should be reserved for the siege?" Su Cheng angrily listened to the sound of artillery in front.
"What are they going to do? Commander Zhao, Commander Zhao, please give me an explanation. Why do they disobey orders? Don't they know we have limited ammunition?" Su Cheng looked at Zhao Li next to him and asked angrily.
"Chief of Staff, I'm going to send someone to ask." Zhao Li also hurriedly asked someone to go to the front to see what was going on.
But he ran back not long after he left. The difference was that there was another person beside him.
"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, no, no, no, we encountered an ambush at Sanlaqiao, and now the entire division has been beaten..."
"boom!"
Before the soldier could finish speaking, Su Cheng pulled out his gun and died.
"Chief of Staff...what are you..."
"Commander Zhao, do you want the news that your troops were ambushed to reach the commander's ears?" Su Cheng said lightly.
"Chief of Staff, that's not what I meant, so what should we do now?"
"The Second Division is all new recruits. No matter how many people die, it won't be a problem. It just consumes their ammunition. Don't worry."
"Order the troops to advance slowly."
"Chief of Staff, isn't this good? That's a whole division. Why don't we unite our forces to capture the local positions?"
"Our main force is now in the first division. The first division is the most important. I don't care about the death of the second division. As long as the first division is not lost, we will not lose!"
"The enemy's momentum is now at its peak. Even if we rush over and capture the position, we will inflict great damage. Therefore, we must conserve our strength and let the Second Division consume it first."
"I see, the Chief of Staff is really smart."
"Mr. Zhao, thank you very much."
…
Sanlahe position.
"Batalion Commander, what's going on with this enemy? Why can't he just run away and not attack? Brothers can't wait." A soldier shouted loudly.
"Whoosh~whoosh~boom..."
"Why are you so anxious? Didn't you notice that the enemies below have no consciousness at all? What does this mean? It means that they are all new recruits and have no fighting ability. This kind of people will be useless even if we kill 100,000 people, you know!"
"Go, tell the artillery battery to stop firing!"
"Yes, battalion commander."
A few minutes after the soldiers went down, the artillery battery stopped firing.
At this time, Wang Dazhu ran to Sun Dayu and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Wait a minute, these people may be their cannon fodder, consuming our ammunition."
"Consuming human life?"
"Can't their Sichuan Army do it?"
"How many more shells do we have?"
"Probably more than a hundred rounds."
"Okay, keep it and wait until their main force arrives before attacking again."
"good!"
…
Sanla Bridge.
"The enemy is out of shells, charge!"
"I'm telling you, you want us to die?"
"Bang... this is what will happen if the morale of the army is shaken. Come on!"
an officer shouted after shooting a soldier to death.
The soldiers had no choice but to rush forward.
"Batalion Commander, the enemy is coming."
"Don't worry, come closer." Sun Dayu raised his hand and after about a minute, he suddenly waved his hand.
"Hit me!"
"Da da da da~"
"Da da da da~"
"Bang...bang...click...bang...ta-ta-ta-ta-da~"
The MG42 general machine gun and the Maxim heavy machine gun spurted out flames instantly, and the bullets were fired as if they were free.
Especially under the MG42 general machine gun, the shells were piled up into a hill.
"Da da da~"
"Uh... pfft... ah..."
"my leg……"
"My arm..."
"Ahh~"
"Tu tu tu tu... da da da~"
"Help."
Under the powerful firepower, the enemies fell in pieces.
"Let's retreat, there is only death here..."
"Withdraw... no more fighting, no more fighting..."
"Batalion Commander, look far away."
Sun Dayu looked in the direction of his finger and saw tens of thousands of people coming densely on the other side of the bridge.
"That should be their main force over there."
"Go tell the artillery battery and prepare to fire!"
"Yes, battalion commander!"
"No guns allowed, go back and attack!"
"Bang bang bang~" Su Cheng immediately shot the three deserters and urged them to go back and attack.
"Chief of Staff, the enemy's artillery fire is very strong."
"Very strong? They are out of shells, right? Where are the mortars? Can they hit it!"
"Chief of Staff, yes!"
"Then go quickly, what are you waiting for?!!!" Su Cheng shouted at the artillery commander with a gun,
"Company commander, they've deployed mortars."
Wang Dazhu picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.
"Adjust the muzzle."
"Five hundred and ten meters away!"
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers of the artillery battery immediately adjusted their muzzles.
"Company commander, the first group is ready."
"The second group is ready!"
"The third group is ready!"
…
"fire!"
"Whoosh~"
"Swish swish~"
"Dong dong dong~"
…
